The Geeks Were Right
The Faint Lyrics

Eyeballs float in wet green grass
The singer observes something strange, perhaps an unsettling image of eyeballs in a surreal setting.

I got a chainsaw motor that's filled with rain, proof
The singer has a powerful tool that has been exposed to the elements but still works.

When it sings like bach with eyes all bulging
The chainsaw has a distinctive sound, and perhaps appearance, when in use.

When the pink sun drops the eyelids fold
At sunset, everything settles into a state of rest and darkness prevails.

While I'm in deep REM sleep or twilight zones
The artist experiences vivid and surreal dreams, or perhaps even altered states of consciousness.

I take a freight elevator and press fast forward
The singer has the power to speed up time or skip ahead to the future.

I get to grind these teeth and beat through time
The singer relishes the opportunity to experience the passage of time in a dynamic and intense manner.

If I could bring things back they'd be that WILD
The artist longs for a time when things were unbridled and untamed, full of excitement and unpredictability.

When I saw the future the Geeks were right
The artist realized that those dismissed as 'geeks' or outcasts had actually been correct about the trajectory of society and technology.

Egghead boys with thin white legs
The artist describes a certain type of intellectual, who may not conform to traditional masculine ideals.

They got modified features with software brains
The singer imagines a future in which people can modify their physical and mental capabilities through technology.

But that's what the girls like, the geeks were right
Contrary to stereotypes, the artist realizes that many people find intelligence and innovation attractive.

Predator skills, chemical wars, plastic islands at sea
The singer laments the destructive capabilities that humans possess, such as the ability to dominate and destroy nature.

Watch what the humans ruin with machines
The singer warns against the danger of humans becoming too reliant on technology, which can have disastrous consequences for the environment and society.

I'm in a chainsaw choir and dreams
The singer's dreams are populated by surreal and intense images, including the chainsaw metaphor.

That bend that let me cut through time and stretch out bach
The artist imagines a tool that can manipulate time and space, much like a chainsaw cuts through wood.

I make the dry eyes roll and wet eyes cross
The artist's intense experiences cause both mental and physical reactions in others.
